Help! Help! My brain hurts!

[Ramsus]

This link will take you to the EQ rollup site, which showcases all of the EQ variants. Since I'm working today I'm kinda just fooking around and noticed an 'odd' glyph on one of the banners at one of the sites.

Go to the site and look at the one banner titled 'Everquest', above the one titled 'Everquest Online Adventures', then above where it says 'Buy Everquest', in the cloud illustation, is a glyph that looks like a thorn and a square...

Click on it... it takes you
here (http://everquest.station.sony.com/assembler/)

It's a puzzle.

Several threads to give you an idea whats been tried:

Thread on FoHguild.org (http://www.fohguild.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4596)

Thread on EqClerics (http://eqcleric.gameglow.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13655)

"BTW, it will be after the newsletter goes out that the right runes will become known, and even then, they don't spell ou the name, but they lead you to a place that does. This one is multi-step."

"The Kingdom of Hammerfel red herring was just added in yesterday after that Cleric posted it could be done. I was pretty floored by that coincidence. I'm not so egotistical as to put that in intentionally. The reason it links to my newsletter article is the newsletter itself is needed for the next step.

For the EQ2 teaser ( eqlive.station.sony.com/c...p?id=40095 ), a lot of people complained that the puzzle was too easy, or that it was solved before they even knew there was a puzzle. Not going to happen this time. This puzzle is multi-stage. This part you really have to have the newsletter to solve, so don't feel bad if you can't get it yet. And the answer you get from this part is not the name. It leads you to the next step. This one is not easy, but hopefully this time, everyone who wants to participate will get the chance."

"LOL. They crack my Flash movie file to find the answer and I'M the cheater? :P

I anticipated someone whould cheat and crack the file, so I took precautions. If I hadn't, that cheater might have found the answer and told everyone, and what fun would that be?

Wait for the newsletter. It's required to solve the puzzle."

Using the phonetic map above, these are the different answers currently.

Lost Dun Geon of No Wrath
Lost Dum Geon of No Wrath
Lost King Dum of no wrath
Lost King Dun of No Wrath
King Dum of Serv El Is
King Dun of Serv El Is
King Dum Of Ham Merf El
King dun of Ham Merf El

Maybe they don't go by sounds at all. Some of them look like letters, Maybe it spells something. Like an EQ Alphabet?

[Sinter]

Got some words... growing seeing serving. hehe me and like 8 friends been working on it.

[Kalthanan]

It's all been solved... It involves actually going into the game to a certain vendor and reading 3 books.

[Sinter]

[Tillmar]

WOOOOT haha

After you complete that one ramsus gave the link to .. the next one is this
http://www.prophecyofgrozmok.com/

I solved this today ... not sure if you want me to spoil it for yas so if you want to know you will have to ask me ingame about how to get past this stage

[Ramsus]

I solved the whole thing completely already.

SOE is going to pay for my everquest accounts.. they about shit when I told them I have 5 accounts :P

No idea how long yes.. but to be honest, I;d rather have a title or something.

Anyway, let me know when youre done and I'll post a walk through.

[Kalthanan]

Hehe... well, that's just a teeny bit of server load to them, to pay for your accounts.

If you mention a title, or maybe a unique game item.. they might go for that.

[Tillmar]

I dont know if i am missing something or didnt get something.. but after doing that last part i got to a page that said.. To be released Jan 15 2003. From what i read i figured this was just the time when the next step would be released to allow others time to have a go at it. You finished it rams?... or having us on?

[Kalthanan]

That's the end. I think "Legacy of Kesha" is the end of the puzzle chain.

[Ramsus]

Thats the end tilly. Look at the source code on that page.

[Ramsus]

Here is the actual walkthrough.

Hammerfel's Walkthrough (http://eqlive.station.sony.com/community/hammerfel.jsp?id=53450)

Now.. at the bottom of that page it gives some url's and some special thanks..

It says :
Special thanks to Glip, Malachite and Fatal for their assistance. :)


Something about that Fatal guy.. seems so familiar..
